Description
Who was Isshiah?
Isshiah the Korahite is mentioned in 1Ch.12.6 as one of the warriors who joined David at Ziklag while he was hiding from King Saul. The Korahites were a Levitical family known for their role in worship and temple service (2Ch.20.19).
Isshiah is listed among other Korahites, including Elkanah, Jesiah, Azarel, Joezer, and Jashobeam, who are described as "mighty men of valor" and "men trained for battle, who could handle shield and spear" (1Ch.12.8). These men played a crucial role in supporting David during a difficult time and helped him establish his kingdom.
No further details are given about Isshiah's specific actions or role within David's army. His inclusion in this list highlights the diverse group of skilled warriors who were loyal to David and played a part in his rise to power.
Relations
Direct connections
The kinship import reads the registry's own columns — parent, child, sibling, spouse — for every entity in it, and records none here. An extracted relation would be listed beside them, and none names this person either.
Not stated
No family is recorded for this person.
Places
Where this happens
A person is placed by the events they take part in, and an event has to clear three things to place them: it must say where it happened, that place must be one the gazetteer can put a coordinate on, and the verse must report it rather than foretell, command or ask it. Nothing anchored here clears all three. Where the text names a setting no gazetteer surveys — a vineyard, a palace, a plot of ground — it is left off rather than guessed at; where a place is named only in a prophecy, the map does not draw what was said to be coming as though it had happened; and a place reached only through a relation is not inherited, because standing beside somebody is not being somewhere.
No verse Atlas has read as a report puts this person anywhere.
